Cuyo Malbec

Bodega Catena Zapata

Catena Mendoza Malbec 2021

Nice, easy drinking wine with a strangely eclectic meal: grilled romaine salad, tuna nachos, beef sliders with cherry smoked bacon, and chicken cutlets with arugula. — 13 days ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

I started my visit to Opus one with this 2017 vintage.

On nose its peppery, spices, some tobacco, leather, Dried sweet fruit, Black Cherries

On palate, its so elegant. The Acidity and Tannins, its covers your mouthfeel yet sharp and warm Napa Style carbenet. Its Long, with well balanced Intensity. Surprised how 2017 can deliver this performance. CHEERS!

Very smooth, velvety aftertaste, you’d think you were drinking a fancy grape juice. Pairs so well with a steak dinner. 🍷🥩 — a month ago

Opus One

Overture Napa Valley Petit Verdot Blend

I blinded some of my fellow WSET Diplomates on this and one astutely observed “it tastes like Opus One” whilst others thought it was too Old World in style to be such a thing. In short, we all liked it better than we have Opus One, if you can believe it. Believe it. — a month ago
